Innovative Learning Spaces
Thursday, October 19, 2006
 
Join Phil Long (MIT) and Dan Gilbert (Stanford) to learn more about technology-enabled classrooms and informal learning spaces that support active learning. UW professors Richard Anderson and Daryl Pedigo will demonstrate innovative technologies currently used here.
 

Phil Long, MIT, showcased his TEAL classroom. "TEAL is a teaching format that merges lectures, simulations, and hands-on desktop experiments to create a rich collaborative learning experience." (quoted from http://icampus.mit.edu/teal/)

Richard Anderson, UW Computer Science, demonstrated Classroom Presenter, a tablet-based system in which the instructors and students share and mark up slides.

Daryl Pedigo, UW, Physics, showed how the use of a very simple device, the clicker, can promote anonymous and widespread participation in classroom discussion.

Dan Gilbert, Stanford, highlights the inventive, educational technology found in Stanford's renowned Wallenberg Hall.
